Putting down like a poison or putting down, getting wet & igniting? Thank you.

I used to set them out and they were effective and every morning when I went out to check the traps, they were snapped shut and no voles.

Turns out there was a feral cat who would come along and take the voles out of the traps and eat them........LOL!

I’ve tried the gas sticks for moles and they didn’t work. I’ll add it to my list of things to try. Thank you.

Little honey some oatmeal and a tiny bit of chocolate in a jar on its side. The honey gets on them and they get stuck. You find them dead.

don’t know I’d keep them around

Feed em, then you'll never be able to get rid of them. Cats that is.

Put a few pellets in the hole and add a little water and it makes a gas that drives them away. Read the reviews at the link. They can explain it better.

I have heard people having good luck adding a flex tube to the exhaust of a mower or generator and putting the hose down the holes.

I tried that years ago with a car and a hose on moles but it didn’t work. I had bought a device that fit over the tailpipe and it had a fastener. It fed to a hose coupler that you could attach your garden hose to. A mower would prolly be better but not sure how to transfer the exhaust to a hose. Thank you.

Get a Bunny.

Preferable one named Foo-Foo.

(Let's see who gets it)

Hopping through the forest
Picking up the field mice
Bopping them on the head.

You get the gold star.

My niece came home from school and told me FooFoo was now kissing the mice on the head. Her teacher thought that bopping was to violent.

I called the teacher and asked why the good fairy was so upset. Were the mice being sexually harassed by bunnies? And did she really think that was an appropriate song for kindergartners?

The next week the bunny was behaving normally again.

I’ve seen my Rat Terrier dig up 25’ of vole trail to snatch one from the ground.

Bought 20 regular mouse traps and baited them with cheddar cheese. Killed 4-5 every day for weeks until most of them were gone.
